Sedgwick extends Asia footprint with company integration and strategic growth plans

Sedgwick, a global provider of technology-enabled risk, benefits and integrated business solutions, has outlined the next steps in its strategic plan to become the fastest growing claims solutions provider in Asia.

This announcement follows the recent acquisition of Insight Adjusters and Surveyors and senior leadership appointments, and is part of the company’s strategy to enhance its presence in Asia and strengthen its reputation for handling major, complex losses and providing a full suite of loss adjusting services and TPA solutions to the Asian market.

Driven by strong regional demand for integrated solutions and market knowledge, Sedgwick continues to make strategic investments to grow its capabilities and service offerings. The firm recently opened a new office at 12th Floor Prudential Tower in Singapore, expanding the company’s presence in the region. This move also integrates the Insight Adjusters and Surveyors team as Sedgwick embarks on a programme of sustained growth.

Working together within the same location, the new office premises will allow the combined team to concentrate on unified efforts to drive business growth with a stronger focus on its customers and sharpen its portfolio of solutions.

“Our commitment to our clients remains steadfast,” said James Ong, CEO of Sedgwick Asia. “Under the unified Sedgwick brand, we will provide the solutions our clients need, delivered by the same local experts on whom they already depend. Our expertise, dedicated colleague teams and trusted technology remain in place to provide clients with the exceptional support they have come to expect from us.”

Nehemiah Neo, non-executive chairman for Sedgwick Asia and executive chairman for Sedgwick’s operation in Singapore, said: “Our plan is to take full advantage of the company’s unique strength, reputation and global resources, using innovation, integration and outstanding customer service to drive long-term relationships with clients and sustainable growth. As we embark on this new journey with Sedgwick, the combined team and our new office location demonstrate our determined ambition for a promising future.”
